Old Testament prophetic texts are hard. They are hard to preach, and they can be hard to understand. Because of this—with the exception of a few messianic passages that show up during Advent and Holy Week—the prophetic books rarely get a hearing in most North American churches. Yet without the prophets we are left with a truncated understanding of the mission of God and God’s redemptive work. In this workshop we explore common themes in the Old Testament prophets and their importance for shaping the Christian imagination today. We also consider strategies and ideas for recovering the preaching and study of the prophets within our church communities.
A podcast from Calvin University featuring thoughtful leaders discussing key topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of Christian life and witness.
Come and join a conversation with knowledgeable and experienced preachers and worship planners as we talk about our best practices for Holy Week worship planning. Bring your questions and ideas as we share and learn together.
Music and prayer are prominent elements in worship liturgy. How does the culture of the worship community influence these worship practices? How should we engage culture and yet be countercultural in our practice of music and prayer? Engage with this panel from four continents as we explore how cultural values form and inform worship practices.

Congregations, pastors, and parents/caregivers have many opportunities to join together in worship and prayer practices that more intentionally engage children and help them come to know and love God and grow in faith together. Panelists will discuss ways to intentionally create intergenerational community in which people of all ages, including children, are welcomed as full participants whose participation enriches the community and gives praise to God.
